Australian boxing brothers

[kel]

People on the General forum have been discussing a similar topic.

What are some of the better Aussie brother boxing family's.

I'll start with the Waters boys.

Dean - Competitive Heavy at Australian level
Guy - Decent Commonwealth light heavy just a touch below world class
Troy - Best of them, jnr Middle who fought champions like Tito, Simon Brown and Terry Norris for world titles.

Your Thoughts

P.S Actually all 3 were born in England but migrated to Oz at a young age.

mark de mori11-1 pro
eric demori 1-0 amatuer

we are still baffled that hugo boss has not dumped the klitschko's and hired us to model their clothes at international events

[Hmmm]

now watch sugarmoey come out in flying colours :D

[Barge FTA]

the hussein brothers have really underperformed considering the amount of hype they got.

[gloveup]

Kelly boys Glen and Kevin. Both world title challenges and held countless titles.
dino

[westside]

Paul n nathan.
Talented kids missing that something in boxing that took them to places in kickboxing.

[Dr Gonzo]

the Elomars haha

[percy davo]

The Sands brothers no doubt

[Bobby]

notdye, back from states filling out visa to work their, then will get fight scheduled, very exciting for me

[Kegsy]

Best of luck Mark, but u better get in good training coz unlike here the level of competetion is much harder.
There aint many Fatu Tuimanono's & Mosese Kavika's over there.:yep

[Bobby]

kegsy, i train like a pro now, lets see who you can aford when your paying for your own fight and risking to lose 5000, now oi can sit back and relax and just train and fight

[MSTR]

Good Luck.

[Bobby]

[Marcus]

[Bobby]

Is there any chance you could post some sort of journal or update of your fights/sparring experiences for us? I know it would be time consuming and stuff so if not thats okay, I would just be really interested to hear what goes on behind the scenes. I remember the footage i saw of you and you boxed well for a big guy. Be interesting to see how you fair in the US.

[Bobby]

apart from when the fight is and who i spar with what else is there you want to know, training and just anything theat you dont normally get to see/hear about?
thanks for the compliment, they are few and far between on boxing forums

[Marcus]

Im sure all of us would be interested in anything you can share with us avid Aussie boxing fans!!!

[Dr Gonzo]

for sure! good to see a good Aussie heavyweight prospect :bbb

[Bobby]

not much happening yet but back in serious training will keep you guys updated
fyi training atm goes like this , it will change close to a fight

mon am box pm weights
tue-box/spar
wed am- strength and conditioning pm-weights
thurs box/spar
fri- am strength and conditioning pm weights
sat-weights power training
sun-rest

[Marcus]

How do you do your weights? Explosive?

[MSTR]

Cheers mate. Anything and everything would be both interesting and appreciated. Whatever you find time or feel bothered putting down. Things like different people within the boxing game, or different fighters you might meet and what they are like. Venues and promoters and what sort of things you guys look to improve to get you further with your career. How much footage you watch? Just anything would be interesting. Do you do much running at the moment? How intense are the sparring sessions that you do and are you generally fighting guys who are better or worse then yourself?

[Bobby]

mstr, some good ideas i will have to setr up some sort of journal/blog thing to write in

marcus, my weight training changes, right now i am in a hypertrohpy phase, i will then go to a strength phase, then close to a fight plyometrics and power phase, each phase is characterised dy diff rep,set amounts, rest time and exercise choice and the way they are performed

[Kegsy]

kegsy, i train like a pro now, lets see who you can aford when your paying for your own fight and risking to lose 5000, now oi can sit back and relax and just train and fightCool mate all the best.:good
It never is too easy fightin in Australia with such a small range of fighters to compete against.

Would have loved to see u step it up with the likes of a Nathan Briggs or Hopoate or the like.
Maybe one day.:deal

[Marcus]

your still putting on size?? .......holy crap!!! how big do you want to get? i hope you keep nice and nimble with a heap of stretching? do you seperate stretching sessions or just do them in your training you stated before?

[Bobby]

i dont really do stretching sessions ,boxing doesnt require much flexibility and im reasonable nimble for a guy my size,
im not trying to get bigger i need to maintain size as i am a built up heavy ala holyfield,shane cameron

kegsy-im pretty sure ill be in against tougher opp in the states than the ones you mentioned, and for better money than here

kegsy-im pretty sure ill be in against tougher opp in the states than the ones you mentioned, and for better money than here Yeah mate no doubt u will be in with tougher opponents & better money in the states.
I just wish i had seen u in with better opponents here in Australia thats all.
All the best of luck.
Maybe u can get it on with Bowie Tupou??:think Isn't he still in USA.

[Bobby]

if you want to see me in tough fights check out my fight with alex leapai , that was a good lesson for taking fights when not in top shape, i didnt learn my lesson properly though until i got knocked out in my only loss!

[Kegsy]

if you want to see me in tough fights check out my fight with alex leapai , that was a good lesson for taking fights when not in top shape, i didnt learn my lesson properly though until i got knocked out in my only loss! Yeah Alex Leapai is a very underated boxer.
His team were calling out Hoppa at one stage too.
Yeah that match with Leapai was a tough quality Aussie matchup.:good

who are you looking at next for a possible match up mate?

[ipswich express]

Excellent work Mark. I remember watching you spar with Nathan Briggs many a year back. Great to see you heading Stateside to test your luck! Looking forward to reading a blog/update soon!

[Bobby]

ipswich, nathan was always much fitter than me so i found the sparring really helped me improve cause i was such a novice and had to push myself fitness wise and i know i fought alot better when i got to spar him

boxing banker- opponent up to dkp, but they know im not ready for the big boys yet

Signing up with Don King must have been a scary thought, based on his reputation. How have you found him to be in person?

[Bobby]

mstr, king seemed like a good showman and businessman, i am under no illusion he cares about me or my welfare, we are using each other to get where we want, boxing is cruel business from top to bottom, sharks all the way

Fair enough. I never put too much stock in rumours anyway. If he was the total mongrel that everyone makes out people simply wouldn't sign with him. He surely does some dodgy stuff, but I guess thats the nature of the business like you said.

Leapai is taking on Nathan Briggs in late November for the vacant OPBF Heavyweight Title.
Should be an awesome fight.:good

[Marcus]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Kegsy!!

The fat people are, but not the eldest son who has to help bath and dress his horribly obese mother every morning.
